Y Once gain Fall Brings Return of M1001 Begins Friends, Classrooms, and tudies to R. H. . The year, 1956, found R. H. S. with its largest en- rollment, as 352 students crowded into the assembly on September 6 to greet friends and look over faculty row. The building also housed eighty eighth graders and one post-graduate, Randy Mastersong and East, West, North, and South met here as eleven new pupils came from as far as California and Alabama and as near as Kewanna and Akron. Clubs and classes organized early to begin work on floats for the Homecoming parade, and our year fell into a routine of studies, sports, and extra-curricular activities. Steve Whittenberger became a familiar figure, intro- ducing ministers at chapel services and entertainers at assembly programs. For the first time, school news was published in our own newspaper, ZEBRA TALES, and the new inter-com system carried morning an- nouncements. Each noon the rec room jumped as students listened or danced to the latest blues or rock and roll tunes. Pep sessions kept school spirit at an all-time high. The Christmas choral program, the midwinter band concert, and the after-game and Scout dances highlighted our winter. By the time spring came, bringing the junior play, track, golf, tennis, the prom, and senior activities, R. H. S. had no new studentsg we were now old friends. For the faculty, student body, and community, 1956 had been another successful year.
